A very nice image from Florida.
Real Time Images: The Very Latest from SOHO
SOHO, the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory, is a project of international collaboration between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind.

There's definately stuff to look at :)
I am a Marine Biologist and a Professor at the University of Lisbon / Portugal (Faculty of Sciences) where I teach Marine Ecology and Biological Oceanography. I have a PhD in Animal Ecology (1984) and my current research interests deal mainly with the study of Plankton and Benthos Ecology.
I have been an amateur astronomer for more than 30 years, mainly interested in imaging the heavens (deep-sky but also the solar system). Over the years I have accumulated quite a few telescopes that are house in two different observatories (roll-off-roof and dome) located in central Portugal.
I began imaging the heavens using conventional emulsion-based photography but now have turned to CCD’s. In 1994 I bought a Hi-sis 22 CCD camera. I now own several CCD cameras: SBIG ST-7, SBIG ST-8E, SBIG ST-10XE and SBIG STL11000 (some of my images were already published in several Astronomy Magazines: Sky and Telescope; CCD Astronomy; Astronomy; Astronomy Now; Astronomie Magazine; Ciel et Espace…).
In 2005 I acquired a Paramount ME German equatorial mount that was installed on a Pier Tech telescope Pier.
Solar astronomy has always been close to my heart. In 2011 I bought two LUNT telescopes: LS152 and LS60. Some of my recent solar images can be found at:
